Chapter 561

The actions of King Su Jun in the past few days made Qin Zhongyue almost vomit blood.

Meeting friends and visiting relatives everywhere, and not only alone, but also taking Wen Daihe out of the palace, this is undoubtedly taking all his words as farts!
Not only did they not follow, but they went against each other. I'm afraid I saw more people in these two days than in previous years.

King Su's actions made Qin Zhongyue feel that the token of the Southern Army was in his hands. If it wasn't there, how could he dare to oppose him so arrogantly?

On the other day, he didn't even dare to say a word of contradictory words, but that day, he choked one after another.

Every time he thinks about it, Qin Zhongyue's teeth itch with anger, but he has no time to take care of King Sujun because his family is here.

If it is publicized, and Qi's family learns that the Queen Mother has passed the token of the Southern General Army to King Sujun, all his actions will not be completely blind!

The three-day kowtowing ceremony is about to be completed, and Qin Zhongyue knows that it will be too late if he doesn't speak out to Qi's family about the military order, and he is also sure in his heart that King Su Jun will not take the initiative to issue the southern military order at this time, otherwise let alone say that he will not be able to enter His hand will definitely be taken away by Emperor Ming Qi, and his military order is used to save Emperor Ming Qi's life after his death, so can he confuse the truth now?
When Qin Zhongyue was thinking about it, the palace bell rang, and the sacrificial ceremony ended.

The Qi family came out of the "Anhe Palace". Before the little eunuch on the side came up to play and wait for Emperor Ming Qi to set up a palace banquet, Qin Zhongyue took the lead and said:

"The two uncles, cousins, and cousins ​​have completed the grand ceremony, and the palace banquet will start in a little time. Why don't you go to the palace to have a few cups of tea and rest before going, okay?"

Although Qin Zhongyue didn't say this clearly, Qi's family already understood it very well.

This is undoubtedly to talk about military power, otherwise these two princes who don't listen to political affairs and don't grasp the wisdom of the people, how could they follow them so diligently for so long?

Although it is far away in the south, Qijia is not ignorant of Nieliang City, maybe even Emperor Ming Qi doesn't know, the secret letters between the Empress Dowager and Qijia have become more and more frequent in the past two years.

The most important thing she confessed was that the military power cannot be left in her hands, and she will send someone to meet her.

Although it is not specified who will take over the military power, everyone in Qi's family knows that this person will not be Prince Qin Zhongyue.

This doesn't need careful scrutiny, but it can be seen at will. If it is passed to Qin Zhongyue, is it still necessary to order the military power not to leave?Does the Qi family still use this to protect themselves?
Qi Huazhen saw the secret decrees of the queen mother repeatedly, and he knelt down and bowed to the letter. Without the queen mother, the Qi family would not have such a glorious day, but when the queen mother left, he immediately called Qi's family to gather for discussion, and came to a result together. That is, the purpose should not be to "save life", but to "pass on to the next generation".

Therefore, this time I was going to Nieliang to pay homage to the Empress Dowager, and Qi Huazhen came here on purpose, firstly to see what attitude Emperor Ming Qi had towards Qi's family, and secondly to see if the crown prince was really as hypocritical and stupid as the rumors the rats.

But looking at it from a distance for three days, Qi Huazhen came to a conclusion in his heart that Qin Zhongyue was not only a hypocritical and cowardly rat, but also a wolf with a sweet belly and a sword.

Qi Huazhen is the head of the Qi family, and these do not need to be proved by special events, they can be seen just by observing words and demeanor.

Therefore, when Qin Zhongyue invited him at this time, Qi Huazhen didn't have that kind of mind to deal with him, but looked up and down for a while, and said directly:
"Your Majesty the Crown Prince has any orders, so you can explain clearly. You don't need to go around in circles. If you don't feel tired, even the old officials will be tired."

Being exposed so directly, Qin Zhongyue was stunned and embarrassed. He obviously didn't expect the old man Qi Huazhen to be so straightforward, and he didn't even have the slightest respect for him.

The corner of his mouth trembled slightly, Qin Zhongyue looked at the people around him, and waved his hands to make them retreat, obviously waiting for Qi Huazhen to make his subordinates retreat like him, but Qi Huazhen didn't do that at all, instead he said: "The old ministers are all It is trustworthy, His Royal Highness can order it as much as you want."

Qin Zhongyue bit his lips, wishing he could unload Qi Huazhen, but he still smiled and said:
"The badge of the Southern General Army is in my hands, and the queen mother handed it to me before she died, but I don't know anything about the current situation in the south. I hope my uncle can explain it in detail, and let me have a charter in my heart." , this is not to ask my uncle to hand over the power, but this palace must not violate the Queen Mother's last wish, and I have to know it more or less, please forgive me."

After Qin Zhongyue said that, he bowed his hand and returned the salute, determined to confuse the fake with the real one, but this Qi Huazhen refused to go to the "Yanqing Palace" with him, which made Qin Zhongyue less arranged, and felt uneasy, but he pretended to be calm, and the smile on his face was even stronger. Can a little bit, looking straight at Qi Huazhen.

Qi Huazhen raised his eyebrows and said solemnly:
"The token of the general army is in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Then please His Highness the Crown Prince take out a clear statement and report it to the Emperor. If His Highness the Crown Prince wants to know anything, the old minister will explain it in full."
Qin Zhongyue frowned, but pretended to be shocked and said: "Could it be that uncle doesn't trust me? Do you think I will deceive you? After all, I am the prince of the Great Moon Kingdom. How can such things be faked."

"Then please His Highness the Crown Prince take out the military order. The old minister will not think His Highness the Crown Prince is lying, and His Highness the Crown Prince should not make things difficult for the old minister." Qi Huazhen refused to give in at all, and was even more tit-for-tat. Qi Huakun sank for a moment, slightly He hesitated, but the elder brother Qi Huazhen was the one who spoke to Qi's family, so he didn't interrupt.

Qi Hongli and Qi Hongguang were silent at the side at this time, but Qi Hongli had been watching Qin Zhongyue's every move...

Qin Zhongyue snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves, pretending to be helpless and said:
"I will not carry such important things with me. They are still in the 'Yanqing Palace'. The Empress Dowager loves me, and I don't want to say more about telling me. It's a pity that my uncle is so stalemate, which really makes me feel cold. My heart is cold, I thought my palace holding this military power would be detrimental to Qi's family, but I don't know that this is the queen mother asking me to protect Zuoqi's family, that's all, uncle and others come to Nirvana and stay for a while, and they will report Father Ming will give you an order to allow you to rest in the palace, there will be chaos outside the palace, if you don't go, there will inevitably be those scumbags who will provoke right and wrong, and I hope uncle will not believe other people's nonsense."

Painfully saying that the Queen Mother loves her, and mentioning the protection of Zuo Qi's family, and then saying not to go outside the palace to listen to slander and gossip, this is nothing more than imposing a ban on Qi's family.

It would be fine if he was an ordinary official, but how could Qi Huazhen listen to his gossip?

"The crown prince is right, but it's not right to ask for an order to stay here. The south has important matters waiting for the veterans to go back and deal with them. We will bid farewell to the emperor and leave Nirvana immediately." Qi Huazhen finished speaking. Then, he bowed his hands and left, Qin Zhongyue was a little stunned, watching Qi Hongguang and Qi Hongli follow behind, only Qi Huakun took a few steps slower, and also bowed his hands towards Qin Zhongyue before following.

Stamping his feet to vent his anger, Qin Zhongyue only felt that Qi Huazhen, an old man, was really difficult to deal with, and he simply refused to accept his will, what else could he do!

That Qi Huakun may not be as tough as him, but his words don't count, otherwise he would not bow to him before leaving.

A thought suddenly popped up in Qin Zhongyue's mind, and he gritted his teeth firmly: This old thing, Qi Huazhen, must be removed!

Before leaving for the banquet in Emperor Ming Qi's palace, the Qi family first went to the side hall to rest.

Qi Huakun still frowned a little hesitantly about what happened just now, stepped forward and said:
"Brother, maybe the token of the general army is really in the hands of the crown prince?"

Qi Hua shook his head like a rattle, and said firmly:
"Impossible! If the guess is not wrong, it should be in the hands of that kid Qin Murong, but unfortunately he hasn't seen him for a long time! I don't know what he is doing. Could it be that he is as stupid and loyal as his father?"

"Father, it's better to go to Prince Zhuang's mansion with my second uncle during the palace banquet and meet him face to face. It's not a waste of time to come to Nieliang. The city must also have someone to send a message to take care of it, today is not the same as in the past, and the overall situation should not be spoiled by whims."

Qi Hongli spoke bluntly from the side, Qi Huazhen snorted coldly, but he had no choice but to say:

"Then you guys go and leave Hong Guang here to accompany me, but you are not allowed to bow your head to Prince Zhuang, and you have to ask that kid why he refuses to see each other again and again, is he hardened like his old man?! "

Qi Hongli didn't say any more, just cupped his hands, and winked with Qi Huakun, and the two walked out of the palace.

When Qi Huakun and his two reached the gate of the palace, they saw a little eunuch rushing back. Qi Hongli raised the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly, and said softly:
"It seems that someone is following us."

Qi Huakun looked back and said with a little emotion:
"After all, it will be a matter of time before the crown prince ascends the throne. Look at the past few days, except for the prince, no prince of the county has shown up. What is there to say? Bonus, you still have to persuade your father more, we pray Self-protection and inheritance must be accomplished, but no matter whether he sees the emperor or the prince, he still looks arrogant, the queen mother is gone, who remembers the achievements in the past?"

"What the second uncle said is reasonable, but my father has never bowed his head in his life. I am afraid it will not change. Don't forget the second uncle. We are used to living in the south, and we can treat everyone with a little grace, but come here Nieliang City, haven’t you seen it yet? Every person has eight minds. It’s ridiculous to laugh, but it’s hard to be soft. Otherwise, you won’t even be able to cry if you haven’t been coaxed by that swindler today. Territory?"

Qi Hongli's words made Qi Huakun sigh and shake his head, "We are all rough men and strong generals, and thinking about such narrow-minded things gives me a headache."

"Then the second uncle will listen to my nephew, is it possible?" Qi Hongli's words were not a request, but an order, so Qi Huakun could only nod his head and continue to drive forward.

Qin Murong learned that Qi's family was not too surprised at this time, but looked back at Ye Yunshui with such a smile.

Ye Yunshui didn't delay, and directly ordered the maids and women to tidy up the house, and even sent someone to call Prince Zhuang, and after changing clothes with the little ones, he followed Qin Murong to the door to meet him.

After being busy for a long time, he only had a little time to talk to Qin Murong on the road, so he expressed his doubts: "It is said that there are only two people here? But are you annoyed because the master didn't agree to meet them before?"

Qin Murong nodded slightly, and replied:
"There should be, but this is not the most important thing. It is estimated that the person who came here is Qi Dihongli, the only literati of the Qi family, and the second cousin of the Qi family."

Ye Yunshui had heard Qin Murong talk about the situation of the four of Nieliang before, and he had a clue in his mind, "It's good that Uncle Qi's family hasn't come here, so as not to argue with the old man again, it's not good for us to be human."

Who knows if the two of them still have a deep memory of the previous grievances?But judging from the state of Prince Zhuang, he should still be fresh in his memory, and the Patriarch of the Qi family is probably not easy to deal with. If one is stubborn and the other is tough, how can it be good?

"That's the case." Qin Murong obviously had the same intention, and the two chatted again, and after a while, everyone had already arrived at the gate of the palace.

Because Qi's family only sent a message to see him, and there was no fanfare, so Qin Murong didn't notify the other rooms, and the only people who came to welcome him were him, Ye Yunshui and a few little guys.

The waiting time always makes people feel that time passes so slowly, but Ye Yunshui's heart is beating non-stop. This meeting, may Qin Murong get a satisfactory answer?
Qi Hongli and Qi Huakun bought some gifts on the road and went directly to Prince Zhuang's mansion.

I haven't been here for many years, so I can't do it empty-handed. Of course I don't have a big gift, but I still need a little respect.

Walking to the door, handing over the sign, a guard led the two of them into the mansion.

When Qi Hongli got off his horse at the door and seemed to be shaking his clothes and dust, he looked back, and there were still people following... showing a slight smile in that direction, and followed Qi Huakun into the gate of Prince Zhuang's mansion.

Seeing Qin Murong greeting him at the door, Qi Hongli smiled.Looking to his side, there is a delicate woman accompanying him, who is obviously the concubine Ye Yunshui mentioned in the empress dowager's letter.

After Qin Murong and Ye Yunshui saluted Qi Huakun first, it was Qi Hongli who stepped forward first, bowed his hands and said, "I salute my brother and sister."

Ye Yunshui didn't know what he was doing, so he looked at Qin Murong.

Qin Murong remained indifferent as always, but stepped aside, obviously not accepting the gift, the corners of his mouth trembling slightly blamed Qi Hongli for playing tricks?
Ye Yunshui did not step aside like Qin Murong, but waited for Qi Hongli to complete the ceremony, and then said:
"Only think that this gift from brother Xie Benfei has been filial to the Empress Dowager for many days, so that you can have more good days to write poems, talk poems, sing songs and drink wine." After saying this, Ye Yunshui returned the gift, and then saluted again, " Greetingly welcome elder brother to the mansion for a briefing, and see you here."

Seeing Ye Yunshui finish the ceremony, Qi Hongli was startled for a moment, then quickly apologized with a smile, "I am so ashamed that my brother and sister said something like this, and I blame myself for being narrow-minded. Brother, please don't take offense."

Ye Yunshui looked at Qi Hongli and felt a coldness in his heart. That smile always carried a sense of judgment, which made people feel uncomfortable all over. It was just a blessing, and it was an answer.

Qin Murong only nodded slightly, and led Xiao Doudou to come forward to salute, praying for dividends to deliver a portion of the things he prepared earlier one by one, Xiao Doudou brought Xiaotuanzi and Xiaodouzi kowtowed, just smiling Run aside to play.

After everyone was done, Qi Huakun chatted with Qin Murong, and then asked directly: "Prince Zhuang is in good health? Can we see you?"

"Uncle and elder brother have already been told to come here, and he is waiting." After Qin Murong finished speaking, he led him to "Han Hall".
